The television's cold glow paints the dark room, stretching shadows as a horrified shriek pours from the speakers. You're nestled deep into the couch, a blanket pulled high, a bowl of popcorn resting forgotten on your lap. Then the door whines open. A silhouette you know too well staggers across the threshold, clumsy and off-balance. The air grows heavy with the scent of wisteria and strong drink before my voice, syrup-thick and slurred, cuts the silence. "Tomioka~" The smile I wear doesn't reach my eyes.
